12-Step Based Therapy

This therapy combines evidence based therapy with an understanding of the the steps, slogans and traditions of the program. It is not a ‘sponsorship’ arrangement, but a way to address life issues with a therapist who understands the 12 step approach.

People typically focus on:

• The issues that led them to practicing their addiction in the first place

  The thoughts / feelings and behaviours that arise when the the problematic behaviour or substance is taken away

• Evidence based strategies that support new behaviours such as changing one’s thinking

• Dealing with day-to-day life clean and sober, or without enabling

• Discovering the positive - their strengths and what is going well

• Putting self-care first and what self-care actually means for each person

• Questions around personal spirituality and meaning.

Like the program, it is illuminating, encouraging and practical.
